About The Big Barn Dance:


The Big Barn Dance began as informal summertime barn dances near Taos, New Mexico, in the 1990s. Today, it has evolved into a premier listening festival in the Southwest, taking place at Kit Carson Park in Taos. Michael Hearne's three-day Americana music extravaganza is a highlight in the southwest. Now, Bryan joins the Big Barn Dance lineup with a two-day spring festival.

Join us at Midtown on May 3-4, 2024, and be part of the Big Barn Dance. Follow us on social media @DestinationBryan for the latest updates and lineup announcements leading up to the event.
